Converting DataFrame Column To Factor Column
Similarly, a dataframe column can be converted to factor type, by referring to the particular data column using df$col-name command in R.
Example:
R
# declaring a character vector data_frame < - data.frame(col1=c(1: 5), col2=c("Geeks", "For", "Geeks", "Programming", "Coding") ) print("Original Class") # getting the class of vector class(data_frame$col2) # modifying the col2 of data frame data_frame$col2 < - as.factor(data_frame$col2) print("Modified Class") class(data_frame$col2) |
Output
[1] "Original Class" [1] "character" [1] "Modified Class" [1] "factor"
